How to Make Fig Compote

  1. Peel and segment 1 large orange over a bowl, reserving the juice.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the orange segments, 1 cup of orange juice, 1 pound fresh figs (quartered), and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  3. Add 2 sprigs fresh thyme to the saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the figs are tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat and discard the thyme sprigs. Let the compote cool completely before serving. The flavors will deepen as it cools.
